If you were to judge a book by its cover, you would think, after taking a quick glance at the Asus UX50V-RX05, that you have a powerful, top notch laptop at your disposal. While it is definitely a good-looking piece of machinery, with its glossy, jet black finish, the Asus UX50V-RX05 is lacking in the performance department, mostly due to its single-core CPU. Its underwhelming CPU churns out a performance you would expect from a much more portable laptop, not one with a 15.6 inch screen such as the Asus UX50V-RX05.
While it is not a processing powerhouse, the UX50V-RX05 does come with a 16:9 wide screen display and an honorable graphics engine. That being said, if you are in need of a multitasking juggernaut, stop reading now. Otherwise, if you are a casual gamer and like to pop a DVD into your laptop from time to time, the UX50V-RX05 may be the right choice for you.
The laptop is on sale now for a suggested retail price of $749. To protect your investment, the UX50V-RX05 comes with a standard one year warranty on parts and labor as well as telephone and online support.
As stated in the introduction, its processor is where the UX50V-RX05 falls a bit flat. It comes with a 1.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Solo processor and 4 GB of DDR2 SDRAM, much unlike others in its class which use dual-core processors. The result of this choice by Asus is an overall multitasking performance that is, in a word, sluggish, and lags behind the competition. This is especially true considering the Asus UX50V-RX05’s price and size.
The UX50V-RX05 also has a plentiful 500GB SATA 5,400 rpm hard drive. More impressive than its less-than-desirable CPU is the UX50V-RX05’s 512 MB NVIDIA GeForce 105M graphics processing unit, which allows you to play some 3D games on the laptop without too many hiccups.
